Brock Purdy’s MVP odds shot up from +800 to second choice this week, and if you have watched the Niners at all this season, you know why. The guy has been absolutely dominant through three weeks, steering his team to a perfect 3-0 record. This early surge sets the tone for a wild MVP race already in high gear across the NFL, with several QBs staking their claim.
The Top Dogs Are Already Separating From The Pack
Purdy has been lighting it up, throwing for 297 yards and four touchdowns in Week 3 alone. He is completing a mind-boggling 72.3 percent of his passes on the year, with only one interception. That kind of efficiency and production is why his stock is soaring. But Josh Allen, despite a bit of a wobble, is still the favorite at +220, down from +300. His Week 3 performance against the lowly Chargers in a 24-16 win was shaky, no doubt, with three turnovers, two interceptions, and a lost fumble. He got two rushing touchdowns but failed to throw a single score. Still, nobody can forget his five-touchdown explosion in Week 2, which has to be the single best individual outing we have seen so far this season. The Bills are also 3-0, so it is clear why the oddsmakers still trust him.
The Chasers Are Not Giving Up
Lamar Jackson and the Ravens are right there at 2-1 after a thrilling Week 3 win over Dallas in Brazil. Jackson’s odds were +850 last week, and he is back to using his legs, already racking up 124 rushing yards through three weeks. He has four passing touchdowns and just one interception this year, completing 15 of 20 pass attempts against the Cowboys. Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs are also sitting pretty at 3-0, with Mahomes finding his stride. He completed 20 of 24 pass attempts, added two touchdowns, and one interception in their Week 3 win over Miami. Kansas City has had a pretty soft schedule though, with their three opponents having a combined 3-6 record. Joe Burrow, whose odds were +850 last week, slid a little after the Bengals’ loss to the rival Steelers, but Cincinnati is still 2-1. Burrow has six touchdowns to one pick, and most importantly, he is healthy through the first three weeks. Trevor Lawrence and Jacksonville are 2-1 after beating the brakes off New England in Week 3. Lawrence threw for 182 yards, three TDs, and a pick in that win. His odds were at +1800 last week. Dak Prescott, who dropped from +1400 last week, has seven touchdowns and only one interception on the year. His Cowboys are 1-2, but honestly, they could easily be 3-0 if not for some brutal errors and missed opportunities against the Giants in Week 1 and the Ravens in Week 3.
It is only Week 3, but the MVP race is already heating up faster than a hot espresso on a cold Seattle morning. These quarterbacks are putting on a show, and what is at stake is the ultimate individual prize. Can Purdy keep climbing? Will Allen solidify his lead? We will see who keeps their foot on the gas in the coming weeks.
